Hi everyone I am considering buying a multimeter, as I have recently had problems with my C3 requiring me check the coil , pick ups and CDI. Could someone recommend a Make and Model of multimeter, as there seems to be loads to choose from. My budget is about 60 gbp. I would appreciate your views Thanks Tony

Go to WalMart (if ya got em there) and spend less than $20 USD, but if I had 60 UKP I might consider a Fluke 77 or close.. Nice meter.. The meter I use most was (guessing since I did'nt buy it) maybe $40USD works fine for everything I need. Dooden

Mine is a Sunpro model CP7674 that I picked up for under $30 USD several years ago. The actual manufacturer is Actron Manufacturing Company of Korea. Its not good enough to go trouble shooting a complex digital or analog circuit board but they are more than good enough for working on motorcycle/automotive stuff.

Whatever one you settle on, I'd recommend an analog meter so you can see the needle deflection when testing. Digital meters only give you static readings which are fine for some things, but seeing the needle deflection of an analog meter helps to observe electrical characteristics, such as discharge rate or intermittant current or voltage, that may be missed with the digital. Perhaps an analog will never be needed on the KLR, but you may appreciate it with other equipment, such as audio. The Mule

With digital you can watch it move around, unless its moving fast, then the digital spends most of the time updating and not displaying. I have both, of course both are cheapys, but do the trick for me. (sofar) Dooden

Check the archives, I have written numerous messages about changing the forks on the KLR. You can also check out my page for the swap: http://www.borkbork.net/ Z DC A5X A12X
